MINUTES OF THE ST. JOSEPH PLANNING COMMISSION
I December 5, 1988
Members present: S. Kathleen Kalinowski, Phil Durkee, Ben Kremer, Hub
Klein
Others present: Ross Rieke (Council laison), Michael Contardo, Murray
Mack, Frank Niebolte, Jim Tupy, Tom Morris
Ben called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.
Michael Contardo and Murray Mack presented a site plan and floor plan
for a new dental office on 2nd Ave. N.W. The plans specified a building
40' X 50', built to the property lines on the north and east, with a
sloped roof and central atrium, and probably a brick exterior. The site
plan showed parking space for 8 parking stalls, a parking entrance from
2nd Ave. N.W., and sufficient space between curb and building for a
sidewalk if the City would eventually install sidewalks on 2nd Ave. N.W.
S. Kathleen moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the site
plan and first floor building plan as presented to the Commission. The
motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Frank Niebolte inquired about what requirements are needed in order to
open a bait and sporting goods store in the former Krebsbach building if
he purchased it. The Commission informed him that a floor plan and site
plan of off-street parking is needed for Planning Commission inspection.
I Jim Tupy and Tom Morris, two student representatives from St. John's
University, inquired about the process for constructing a bus-stop
shelter for CSB/SJU students using shuttle buses near the intersection
of 2nd Ave. N.W. and Co Rd. 52. Ross Rieke explained that the shelter
should be placed on the east side of 2nd Ave. N.W. by the El Paso Club,
rather than on the City Park property, for safety reasons. This would
entail obtaining permission from the El Paso Club. Liability is a major
issue. Probably an agreement needs to be drawn up between the two
Colleges, the City, and perhaps the El Paso Club, so that the Colleges'
insurance can be extended to cover the shelter. Jim And Tom were
advised to obtain a copy of the agreement between the City of St. Cloud
and the MTA and use it as a model for the bus shelter project. They
could then approach the financial officers of the Colleges.
The Minutes from November 15 were read and approved.
The matter of the new construction at the El Paso Club being allowed
without Planning Commission inspection was discussed briefly. The
Zoning Ordinance (Section 52.20, Subd. 5, Paragraph f, p. 140) states
that all building permit requests in the business district must be
accompanied by a building plan and a landscape plan accepted by the
Planning Commission.
I Respectfully submitted,
Phillip Durkee
